He was charged with resisting arrest and a racially aggravated public order offence.

Yesterday he appeared at Coventry Magistrates Court for the first time to formally enter pleas against both charges.

When the charges were put to him, Kamanga, of Hermes Crescent, Wyken, he said: “I understand what is being said – I just don’t agree with it.”

He then pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Baldev Atwal, prosecuting, said police had been called to Cranium, in Hertford Street, following a dispute over loud, sexually explicit music.

He said the dispute escalated before Kamanga was accused of resisting arrest.

Mr Atwal also said Kamanga is accused of calling a woman who works nearby a “white fat b****”.

The Telegraph reported at the time how around 10 police cars were scrambled to the scene after an officer pressed an emergency button to call for back up.

The case was adjourned for a week to allow Kamanga to prepare a list of witnesses for a trial, which is expected to take place later this year.

He was released on bail, with conditions that he live and sleep at his property in Hermes Crescent each night, that he does not contact prosecution witnesses, and that he does not go to My Home Finance in Hertford Street. A case management hearing will take place at Coventry Magistrates Court next week.

The incident drew national attention when police who initially attended the incident called for assistance. Passers-by took pictures of the 10 squad cars parked up in Broadgate.
